Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen found in the oral cavities of both domestic and wild animals. Although P. multocida has been involved in a wide range of human diseases, only a limited number of studies on P. multocida peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) had been carried out. We herein present the case of P. multocida peritonitis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory PD, which is believed to have resulted from contact with cats. We suggest that patients undergoing PD and having domestic animals at home should be educated about the possible transmission of the infection from the animals; in addition, these patients should also maintain a high level of personal hygiene.
多杀巴斯德菌是一种存在于家养和野生动物口腔中的人畜共患病病原体。尽管多杀巴斯德菌与多种人类疾病有关,但仅有少数研究涉及接受腹膜透析(peritoneal dialysis,PD)的患者发生多杀巴斯德菌腹膜炎的情况。本研究报告了 1 例接受持续非卧床 PD 的患者发生多杀巴斯德菌腹膜炎的病例,我们推测该感染可能是由与猫接触引起的。我们建议接受 PD 治疗且家中饲养有宠物的患者应接受关于动物传播感染可能性的教育;此外,这些患者还应保持高度的个人卫生。
